I Can See a VTuber’s Red Pills - Chapter 5
Name: Han Jeonga.
Age: 23.
She was the kind of person who made the world seethe with envy—perfect face, perfect figure, and even intelligence to top it off.
Well, up until a year ago.
She always lived normally… No, rather than “normally,” maybe it’s more accurate to say “peculiarly.”
She was the model student who didn’t even have any social media, despite having the kind of looks that usually make people flock to it.
Maybe that’s why.
While she was attending one of Korea’s top universities, she remained unaware of the whispers her classmates murmured behind her back.

Saw that famous business major girl near the XX-dong motel alley yesterday.
Gotta admit, she was super pretty, haha.
But the guy she was with looked kinda older…
– Anonymous1: Whoa, really?
– Anonymous2: Actually I saw her too once but didn’t wanna say anything… knew a post like this would show up eventually lol
– Anonymous3: You mean Han XX from Business? For real??
– Anonymous4: Is this legit??
– Anonymous5: She always seemed so modest and frugal for someone who looks like that… but behind the scenes she’s like that???
– Anonymous6: Damn, I’m kinda shocked
…
The baseless rumors snowballed.
Before she realized it, Han Jeonga had become “that girl who acts prim at school but sells her body outside,” and by the time she caught on, the lies had already spiraled out of control.
People she used to be friendly with began to drift away.
Eventually, some even started adding more nonsense to the rumors.
And to top it off, even a professor called her in, talking about “verifying the truth” and spouting nonsense that made her want to vomit.
Overwhelmed by the meaningless, aimless malice of others, Han Jeonga took a leave of absence.
She shut herself indoors and didn’t come out.
She’d moved out to live alone when she started university, and she was thankful her parents hadn’t heard anything about it.
Time passed.
She tried out all the cultural experiences she’d missed while studying or working part-time—dramas, movies, even anime.
In a life where even a moment of quiet meant spiraling into negative thoughts, those small indulgences brought tiny sparks of joy.
While she was focused on them, she didn’t have to think about anything else.
But it didn’t last.
After several months of that lifestyle, even the tuition money she’d saved up from part-time jobs was gone.
She needed money.
Naturally, her thoughts turned back to working.
But when she tried to actually go outside, her feet froze.
Her hand trembled on the doorknob, soaked in sweat.
She gave up.
Hopelessness washed over her again.
Would it be easier to just starve?
Jump off a building?
Or should she go find the people who did this to her and take them down with her?
She was consumed by dark thoughts, scouring the internet for ways to die… when she stumbled on a YouTube video.
[“I… I wanted to die too when I was young… but… but not anymore… because of you. Because you’re here…”]
Human, yet not human.
It was her first time encountering the existence of a VTuber.
From that moment, YouTube’s algorithm veered away from suicide videos and filled her feed with VTubers.
And gradually, a new thought emerged.
“Could I… Could I do it too…?”
She wanted to try becoming a VTuber.
There was no need to show her face.
No need for real-life interactions.
She could just hide behind a character and say what she wanted, hear the words she longed to hear.
Talk to people who would love her, not her shell.
After doing all the research, she scraped together what little was left in her bank account and used it to buy gear and a model.
It had been one week since her first stream.

[WOOOOO~~ Just found my main base. You look freakin’ delicious LOL. I’m gonna make this my HQ kekekeke]
“…Huh?”
She had no idea how to respond.
Flustered.
Seeing the VTuber named Ajung, who used that nickname as her alias, get flustered made me feel flustered too.
[“Uh, uh… uhhhh….”]
– Whoa
– What is happening?
– This is nuts
– Is this for real?
– Was that really 10 mil?
– She got a donation like that just a week into streaming?? damn
Judging by Ajung’s reaction and the chat’s, I guess it wasn’t my comment that was the issue.
“Whew…”
I seriously thought I said something wrong.
Turns out the way people talk in this scene is exactly how they say—just unloading crude jokes without a filter.
Anyway, she looked even prettier all flustered.
Those juicy, pink lips opening and closing awkwardly were straight-up teasing me.
Gulp.

[Goddamn you’re pretty LOL how old are you?]
I sent another donation to keep the conversation going.
[“……….”]
Now she was just staring at the screen, mouth wide open.
– Whoa
– What is this???
– This for real?
– Seriously?
– Who is this person?
I gave her some time to recover and glanced at the chat.
Huh. The chat’s pretty lively here.
Ajung’s stream wasn’t what you’d call “popular.”
Before I joined, she had just 16 viewers.
Now…?
“Over 50 already, huh?”
I guess the stream had only just started.
Viewers kept trickling in.
Eventually, after a bit more time passed…
[“Th-Thank… you? But, uh, is… is this real? It’s not a bug, right? It has to be a glitch, yeah?”]
She finally snapped back to reality and thanked me—but seeing her like that, I couldn’t hold back.
― Zelnaga has donated 10,000,000 Butter!
[Are you f***ing serious, looking like this and being cute? Do you wanna die or what??]
[“K-KYAAAaaaaa!!”]
– What the hell is this;;
– Okay now I’m kinda scared
– Is that really the Zelnaga?
– Is this guy famous or something?
– That’s the dude from Ggizzik Gallery
– What a psycho, fr fr
– Sir, why are you acting like this on a VTuber stream…
– Please, stop this…
– Don’t take Ajung from us…
– She’s a VTuber, you sicko
– We just found a safe, comfy stream for once, come on
Seeing her bug-eyed and asking if this was real…
Yeah, I couldn’t help but throw in another.
She’s insane.
You’ve got the talent.
The kind that opens wallets.
The fact that I could see her real face made it worse.
Because she thought no one was watching, her unfiltered expressions were… well, straight-up erotic.
Anyway, I should probably try talking to her properly now.
I hadn’t managed a real conversation with Ajung thanks to all the donations short-circuiting her brain.
– Zelnaga: So how old are you?
– Secret
– Not public info
– Wait, are you really Zelnaga?
– Yo you f*ing piece of sh*t why are you even here
– Did Zelnaga betray us??
– I came to find our lost king
– You said we’d get chicken tonight you bastard
– You ungrateful f*, did you milk us dry and bounce??
– So you’re switching to VTubers now??
– Who even are you people…
– Why are y’all doing this here…
– GTFOOOOOOOOO
– This is my world, f*** off all of youuuuuuu
All I wanted was to talk to Ajung, but the chat was chaos.
…Why was everyone acting like this?
All I did was watch her stream and throw in a few donations.
But the chat acted like they knew me.
Let’s see…
Viewer count… 300??
Ah. So that’s where they all came from.
Welp. No choice, then.

[I’m really sorry. Seems like today’s not the day. I’ll come back another time~]
I apologized politely and exited the stream.
Then I immediately opened Ggizzik Gallery.
[ Ggizzik Gallery ]
– It’s already 6pm and where’s my chicken
– Upvote if Zelnaga forgot our dinner LOL
– Is that actually his Ggizzik ID?
– What’s Zelnaga even doing?
– Betrayed Gallery King.jpg
– He really switched to VTubers ffs
– Idc what he watches just give me my chicken dammit
…
The featured posts were already flooded with talk about me.
These f***ers…
Just because I forgot about chicken, they tracked me down and crashed my first conversation with my new idol?
Unforgivable.
Title: Hear Me, Ggizzik Gallery.
□ Zelnaga
After a long, arduous search, I finally found my main base.
It was a trembling, precious moment filled with anticipation.
And you all ruined it.
The chicken I promised for tonight is hereby confiscated.
Not because I forgot.
I fully intended to post the gift cards after my lovely conversation.
But you all threw it away with your own hands.
Reflect on that.
ps. F*** you, let me enjoy some culture for once
Within seconds of posting it, the comments poured in:
– You f*ing bastard
– Give me my chicken you f*
– Confiscating the chicken? Are you nuts
– You morons followed him to a VTuber stream and ruined everything
– I thought I’d finally get some chicken tonight goddammit
– Whoever stalked his stream better pay up
– Mods better hand out 100 chicken coupons tonight
– If there’s no chicken I’m sh*tting all over this board
– Asgard ON
…
All of it: Rage over chicken.
Mm-hmm.
Let the mods suffer tonight.
